11B-35.001: General Training Programs; Requirements and Specifications

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on December 10, 2012, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission received a petition for a permanent waiver of Rule 11B-35.001(13), F.A.C., from Florida Public Safety Institute, on behalf of a Correctional recruit. Rule 11B-35.001(13), F.A.C., requires officers to have no more than one re-take for the examinations given at the end of Basic Recruit Training Courses. An audit of the Petitioner’s records showed that one recruit was permitted two re-takes of the end-of-course examination for corrections basic recruit training. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the recruit at issue was mistakenly permitted two retakes on the end-of-course examination as a result of a mistake on the part of Petitioner’s staff. An audit showed that the officer passed the second re-test of the end-of-course examination. The Petitioner states that the officer should not be penalized because he relied upon the Petitioner’s knowing the rules regarding end-of-course examinations. Petitioner states that the officer at issue will suffer a substantial hardship if his score is not recognized because he will not receive the benefit of having passed the course over a year ago.
A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Grace A. Jaye, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302, or by telephoning [phone].
